First off, I’d really like to thank everybody that donates to the hosting fund. For those of you that don’t know, there’s a small link directly below our beloved artist’s donation button that donates directly into the account that hosts this comic. Occasionally you guys click it, and put small amounts of money into the account, and that actually keeps us afloat. I’m very grateful for this. I don’t like talking about donations too much, but I have to say this here on the front page because you guys keep donating with faked emails and so I can’t email my thank-you notes directly to your inbox. Thank you so much!

(To address a persistent rumor, no, I am not pocketing the hosting donations. They go directly to Dreamhost and I can’t touch the money at all.)

Secondly, you may have noticed that there’s been a rash of 502 errors over the past two months. This is just a growing pain, as Manly Guys has gotten ridiculously popular as of late. Alexa puts this site somewhere in the top 80,000 or so sites on the entire Web. That’s pretty popular! But popularity has a downside. In this case, the problem is that every time a new comic is uploaded, everybody’s RSS reader dings and everybody rushes over to see the comic. This tends to be a little bit too much for our poor little server. I’ve done a couple of tweaks in the back to try to minimize this; I’m proud to notice that today’s update did not kill the server like it normally does.

That’s all I wanted to say today. Thank you for flying Manly Guys and we hope that you continue to enjoy the story!

This land has an extremely important spiritual significance to the native people of the area, and the owners are looking to sell it in the near future. Certain parties have expressed interest in running a highway through the land, so the seven bands of the Oceti Sakowin are trying to pool their resources to buy, if not all 2000 acres, at least enough strategic plots to prevent the construction. They have an Indiegogo page set up to accept donations from the general public, as well as more information over here.

I’ve mentioned this over on Tumblr, but I was in a car accident this weekend. My boyfriend broke two bones in his leg, I walked away with some bruised ribs and a chipped tooth, the car is most likely going to be written off, and I just got back from the hospital and getting him all set up at his mom’s place while he waits for surgery a couple minutes ago. I’m still gonna try to get a strip up this week, but, you know. Can’t exactly plan for car crashes.

MGDMT doesn’t have a table, but I’ll be at the Womanthology booth Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 11:30AM-1:30PM if you want me to draw beefy dudes on any of your stuff. I’ll also be on the Womanthology panel Thursday from 4-5PM in room 25AB.

I also plan on reprising this Comedienne costume at least one day, so keep an eye out for it if you want a high five or anything like that.

There’s been some confusion over what exactly is the plan for the funds raised by the Dick Figures Kickstarter, so Ed and Zack made this helpful video to break down the budget and show a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes.

I can’t tell everyone how much the support means to all of us at Six Point!
